The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Because of the incident of the Xia family in the middle, Aunt Xue put away some of her contempt. She is a smart woman, and she has heard about the Xia family's affairs.Baochai was silent for a moment, and said: "Brother Lin is too fussy, but it really shouldn't be like that in business." Woolen cloth."

Baochai's face flushed, and she secretly hated her brother for not living up to expectations. The names of the best girls in her small selection are gone. Next year is the general election. Now there are one year old and two years old, and there is no sign of what my aunt promised. What's more, I can't even ask for a girl's family, so I have to ask the Lin family to ask for a place, which is really wronged.

"Don't worry, who doesn't like my girl's appearance and temperament? You don't want to rely on the Lin family wholeheartedly. At worst, you have your aunt? Although your uncle is not in Beijing, your aunt can still ask for it."

Baochai couldn't help it either, and thought, that's the only way to go.

The population of the Lin family is really simple, even if the two families add up, there are only four people in Beijing. It is incomparable with Jia's family with uncles and nephews who live in the same family for four generations, if not thousands, if not hundreds.But it also saved Aunt Xue a lot of trouble, so she set up a banquet in Lixiangyuan, and invited reliable and mature people from her shop to accompany Lin Molinche, and Baoyu and Jialian volunteered to accompany her. A group of female relatives sat at a table with Jingxian and Daiyu.

Daiyu is now at a long age, and she is even taller than when she came last time. She wears a long jacket with a purple trim and wide sleeves mink fleece lining, and a pair of sky-blue auspicious cloud embroidered shoes after the rain. Wearing a western short gray fur hat, decorated with four opals, quite eye-catching.Even Baochai, who never liked flowers and fans, couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

Jingxian is always cold on the ground, she is now the mistress of the Lin family, and she dresses a little more expensively. She is wearing a bright red pair of phoenixes singing together and pinching her waist. She looks like a sister with Sister Feng, but Tanchun is far away. Looking at it, I still feel that she is indifferent, especially the plum blossom at the corner of her left eyebrow, and her aloof appearance when looking at people.She couldn't help thinking that people are different from each other. Although she was born in a duke's family, she was not born in the wife's womb, unlike Jingxian, who was spoiled and spoiled. I'm afraid she was superior to others since she was a child. In order to cultivate such a temperament.

"Mrs. Xue kindly invites you, so I didn't dare to disturb you. It's just that our Lord Hou said that parents in the world love each other. Mrs. Xue ran forward and back for your son's affairs, and she was worried. Although we can't relieve our worries, we should come here anyway to forgive you." Rest assured." Her words were quite gentle, but unfortunately there was no warmth in her voice, which made Aunt Xue's heart skip a beat a few times: "You are talking about my unsatisfactory bastard, whose father died early, all because of my doting , developed such an appearance, and offended Mr. Liu, what should I do!"

"Although I don't know about their men, Master Hou said that Mr. Liu has a strong character and is not a person who likes to care. When his younger brother comes back, this matter will naturally be exposed." Kong Jingxian said lightly, "Otherwise, I won't be able to deal with it one after another." The queen of the country dared to write a letter to ridicule and then retreated, if she really cared about it, Mrs. Xue would not be able to sit here to drink tea with me and watch a play."

Daiyu shook her head with a smile, stretched out her hand to hold her sister-in-law's hand, then turned to Mother Jia and said, "Grandmother, let's play a play? I heard that my brother and the others have started. Why did you hear "Exploring the Cold Kiln"?" ? Let's point out the lively ones."

The mandarin duck waited a few hours to send it to the play, she was already very eye-catching, today Aunt Xue is the host, the old lady is the companion, and the aunt and sister-in-law of the Lin family are the guests, so it was directly sent to Jing Xian.

Baochai said: "The tune of "Exploring the Cold Kiln" is actually very good, and the tune is also good. If it's hot, let's see the tone of the opera. I think the meaning of this drama is very wonderful."

Kong Jingxian was gesticulating with the playbook with her fingers. After hearing this, she raised her head, glanced at her, then lowered her head without saying anything, and said softly to Daiyu, "My sister likes to watch lively plays, why don't you listen to "" "Kirin Pavilion"? I don't know how old my grandma's family is."

"The men listen to the old dan in Tsing Yi, but we sound like an old man here!" Jia's mother also likes to be lively, and she also likes the singing of Qilin Pavilion, so she said, "This play is not bad."

Kong Jingxian said slowly: "Of course their men like to listen to Tan Hanyao. I'm afraid that if time is enough, Xue Bachu will finish singing for them."

After finishing speaking, she grabbed another handful of melon seeds and said lightly, "Our Lord Hou doesn't like to listen to operas. Even if he does, I wouldn't dare to show that kind of opera to my sister."

Daiyu looked at her again with a smile, so she added another sentence: "Che'er just listen to it, go back and talk about him." She said this sentence to Yun Chu who was behind Daiyu.While talking, he stuffed the melon seeds in his hand to Daiyu, turned his head and said to Aunt Xue: "Auntie also has a daughter, she knows the difficulties of girls, and I have only been here for a short time. I dare not praise anything else. Girl, I dare not say about my talent, my appearance and temperament, you can laugh at me for my lack of knowledge, at my age, my sister is one of the best."

Kong Jingxian was born in a master of poetry and calligraphy, she is a county lord, and she often goes to and from the court. The queen loves her very much, not to mention those ladies in the palace. How many princesses are there in the palace? face, pushed her: "what did sister-in-law say?"

Shi Xiangyun interjected: "Sister Lin is naturally very kind. I lived here before, and before Sister Lin came here, I heard my second brother often talk about it. There is a younger sister in my aunt's family in Suzhou, who must be like a fairy. "

Daiyu frowned, pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Speak well, second elder brother, second elder brother, if you don't pay attention, you still think you love elder brother."

Shi Xiangyun said: "If you don't let people go, it's not good to pick people. You will be better than the world. There is no need to joke with someone or point out someone. If you dare to pick him, I will obey you." Daiyu Ask who it is.Xiangyun pointed to Baochai and said, "If you dare to pick the best of Sister Bao, you are considered good. If I am not as good as you, why is she not as good as you?"

Daiyu sneered and shook her head.Tanchun didn't wait for her to speak, and quickly changed the conversation. Xiangyun smiled and said: "I am naturally inferior to you in this life. I only bless tomorrow with a tongue-biting brother-in-law. You can listen to 'love' all the time." 'Er' go. Amitabha, that's in my eyes!" Everyone who said that laughed, Xiangyun was afraid that Daiyu would come and beat her, and turned his hands to run away, but saw Daiyu just sitting there with red eyes, twisting her eyes. Pazi didn't speak.

Xiangyun also stood there in a daze, not knowing what he said wrongly, and looked at Jiamu stupidly.

Kong Jingxian said: "We only have one daughter in our family. I intend to stay for a few more years. I don't need Miss Shi to worry about brother-in-law Lin's affairs." Her voice was light and light, "It's the general election next year. Miss Shi must pay attention."

Aunt Xue has been thinking about bringing up the general election all day today, but she didn't expect Jingxian to bring it up first, let alone such a situation.

Baochai said softly: "Yun'er has always been straightforward and innocent. I was at fault for this. I will apologize to Sister Lin." Then he poured a cup of tea and wanted to respect Daiyu.

"It has nothing to do with Miss Xue." Kong Jingxian's voice was cold, "I have also met Miss Shi's two cousins. They are innocent, gentle and lovely. No matter what the female celebrity said, she is a good girl, listen Said that the second girl is destined to be Uncle Jinxiang's second son, Han Guo?" She chatted with Jia's mother, "I am here today. First, I am here at Mrs. Xue's appointment. Second, I am also entrusted by others. Come to ask the old lady for a favor."

Mother Jia was startled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Kong Jingxian said: "Looking back, I secretly told the old lady that the old lady must agree."

After listening to the play for a while, Xiangyun got bored, and heard Jingxian mention the general election, she was shocked and frightened, they put noodles on the table, she didn't have the mood to eat, she sat on the porch to wipe her tears.Cuilu was so anxious that she had no choice but to go secretly to find Baoyu.

But Baoyu, he wanted to get closer to Daiyu, but was invited by Aunt Xue to talk to the Lin brothers.He was already afraid of Lin Mo, but Lin Che was a good-looking person, but his expression was joking. He was not interested in what Baoyu said, and it was really difficult to get close to him.He also felt that the banquet was too boring, so he found an excuse to come out to catch his breath, and just met Xiangyun, seeing her displeased, he hurriedly said, "What's wrong with Yun'er? Who made you unhappy?"

Xiangyun cried: "They are here to be guests, am I not? I know they are the princes of the palace, and I am nothing, but just because of this, am I going to be buried?"

Baoyu scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously, but she didn't know how to persuade her. She thought, "Look at what Yuner means, that Sister-in-law Lin and Sister Lin have offended her? Hairy'er is always eloquent, and the third sister always says that Sister-in-law Lin is not easy to mess with. There must be a misunderstanding, what should I do?"

After eating, Jingxian saw that Daiyu had almost rested, so she proposed to take a walk in the garden: "I often heard that there is a temple in my grandmother's house. The plum blossoms in the temple are beautiful, and the master is also spiritual. I really want to go and have a look. "

Jia Mu knew that she was going to talk about something, so she smiled and said, "That's very good. Little Master Miaoyu was originally from everyone. She has an extraordinary bearing. She has good tea there, so let's go and trouble her."

Jingxian then supported her and gave Daiyu a wink, Daiyu understood and led the maids to slow down their pace, the sisters saw her like this and knew they had something to say, so they took a few steps back.

"To tell you the truth, grandma, I am here today because I was matched by the aunt of our Lord Hou, the wife of Lord Rong, the Governor of Shandong Province."

Mother Jia stopped in her tracks: "This is?"

"The second cousin of my grandmother's family, is there someone else?"

"Yingchun?" Jia's mother was slightly disappointed. Lin Mo and Jingxian got married that day, and Rong Bai seemed to like Yingchun quite a lot, but she really couldn't think of Yingchun's age.

Jing Xian said: "If the second cousin doesn't have anyone yet, I'm going to come and kiss for the eldest cousin of the Rong family."

On the other side, at the banquet, Lin Mo tugged on La Jialian's sleeve and said, "Uncle, still remember what the 5000 taels are for? What's the big deal, I have something to ask you for."
